So far my favorite psychology professor at UCSB. Straightforward and uses a lot of videos to illustrate the material. Will handout a study guide (Thank God!) and as long as you study the slides and supplement them with her additional commentaries, you CAN easily get a C or above

She is the best professor I've had here at UCSB. Easiest A I've ever received. Her tests are literally right off her slides and the class is super interesting. LOVED her. Definitely take with her.

Great lecturer. Material is interesting, she keeps lecture interesting through the use of funny, applicable video clips. Go to class; she really goes further in depth than the slides do and you cannot miss the videos. She does not use a book which is really nice.

Awesome class & great prof! Lectures are very interesting & enjoyable. Slides are posted before class so you can follow along during lecture, but you should still need to go to class to get all the info. No textbook is required! She's a good lecturer & very clear. Grades are based entirely on exams, which aren't too hard if you go to class & study.

German has this tone to her voice that makes it really hard for me to pay attention in class, but the way she teaches the class makes it really easy to get an A if you do the reading and attend lecture. Don't slack off but if you put effort in, you will get an A :)

German is an excellent lecturer, but this is an extremely (almost disappointingly) easy class. Do not expect depth.

She is a great professor, very interesting lectures. I do not like the fact that your grade depends on two tests. Her test questions are awkwardly worded and confusing.

Highly recommend. All material is interesting and fairly easy to memorize. She also includes many videos of babies! Lots of oohs, aahs, and laughs in class. No book, everything is online. Be lazy and don't go to class if you want (you will miss out on the videos that really help with the concepts), but this class is so fun that you will want to.

Awesome professor! Made class entertaining with video clips that made the material stick. Good sense of humor. Very fair tests. Highly recommended!

Such a great professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go since there is not textbook for this course. Class is fun so you should go anyways :) There are 3 test and she post a study guide for each one along with lecture notes.

VERY Easy class, no textbook. However powerpoints are not very organized or clear, but if you understand material tests are easy. Only midterm and final for grade, if you do bad on first midterm, second midterm grade erasers first one.

This class isn't hard, no textbook, however the powerpoints are not very organized and if you do not go to class, trying to study for the tests off of them is not helpful. Entertaining videos and interesting information, could be better at organizing the concepts. The tests are wordy and a little harder then some expect. Easy class overall

Very intresting lectures, gives videos to keep concentration, all notes online, really fun course, my best psyc course at UCSB so far - only thing is I was sure she was called Tamsin! Report this rating

She was alright, nothing special. Her lectures vary from extremely boring to extremely entertaining. It seems to be a hit or miss. There are no book readings which is nice. However, if you don't go to lecture, just studying off of her lecture slides and review sheets is almost impossible. Her tests are also annoyingly wordy

Her lectures are incredibly entertaining, clear and humorous. She has a quick wit and a dry sense of humor and uses clips from recent shows and films to make points clearer. A really great teacher and i would recommend any class she teaches. Favorite psych professor at UCSB.

BEST CLASS EVER!!!! She is an amazing teacher. Clearly teaches the material, tests are fair, doesn't use a book, uses online forums for guidance, and is very helpful during office hours. Lectures online but I recommend going to class. She uses funny examples and clips to make the class fun and clear!

Great professor. Clearly teaches and tells what she expects from her students. Lecture slides were online, book was optional. Grading was fair and midterms were fairly easy.

Easiest class! No reading, lecture slides online, and she is super clear. I literally ACED both midterms! over 100% with the bonus questions. even though you won't need to, i recommend going to office hours cause she is a freaking genius!

Easiest class ever! Lectures online. Tests are only based off of lecture because there is no book. Even though you don't have to go to class, the lectures are interesting and fun. Highly recommended even if your not a psy major

By far one of my most favorite classes. Material is very interesting, teachers is funny, and lectures are actually very fun to attend. Learned alot. Would defintely recommend taking even just for fun

Best class ever! She is very clear in her lecture and the slides are interesting. The video clips are awesome and entertaining. I loved this class and got an A+. Take this if you can for a good grade and a chance to learn some interesting facts.

Easily one of the best professors at this school. Tests are extremely fair. I actually looked forward to lectures because of the interesting/funny video clips she would play in each class. She also plays in a rock band and is a Dexter fan. Pretty cool. Take this class. you'll be happy you did.

Love German! The lectures are wonderful because her use of many examples. Her tests are very fair. I highly recommend her class and think she is wonderful!

No textbook! Just lecture slides (which are online). She shows videos every single class which are SUPER helpful and entertaining. Very organized and very clear. Great professor and great class and pretty easy too! HIghly recommend it
